Rothacher Medical

Rothacher Medical is a Swiss medical device company that manufactures anesthesia machines and related accessories for veterinary use and for the animal research community. The company appears to focus on inhalation anesthesia systems for domestic pets and small animals, along with surgery tables, heating systems, and anesthesia gas evacuation systems for mice and rats. Its flagship product family is the combi-vet anesthesia system, including analog and digital configurations. Rothacher Medical states that it manufactures and assembles most of its machines in Switzerland and develops new products based on feedback from university and research users. The business is best characterized as a niche commercial supplier of veterinary and laboratory-animal anesthesia equipment rather than a drug-development biotech company.
